[315]

@ what it became

Groovy AF

 

[Spence]

Boiiiiiiiii
White boy gets an invite to the cookout, that shyt was basically done and Mike came in with the finishing touches for this legendary song. Back then this was Mikes first venture on his own into the production booth so he had a lot more people in the room allowing them to help shape a song like this since it was a disco album for Off The Wall. I had no clue until just now the demo was as polished as this.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

If you check out other MJ demos you'll see how we used to write songs like this, in Jacksonese where its all about a sound, a groove and emotion. Words come after the feeling.

Wtf this dude was flat from the first note. I know this couldn't have been the reference for MJ. I'm a fukking stickler for pitch!
